I have a family member that's very ill and hasn't paid the internet bill in months. I called up the company today and they informed me that after a couple of months the company cuts the line so along with payment an installation visit would be required to restore service.
Me: “How soon can we schedule?”
CSR: “We can have someone come out tomorrow.”
Me: “Really? They can come out on Easter Sunday?”
CSR: “(Laughs) Oh yes, they work on Easter Sunday, most other holidays too!”
Me: “Well I do really need the service restored. I guess that's fine.”
CSR: “Also, our guys use their own phones so if you see a strange number during the installation window it's probably your installer.”
Me: “Looks like capitalism actually worked out for me for once.”
Before everyone piles on and says I'm a shit human etc, the house is mostly in a dead zone. There's almost no cell signal and internet is really the only communication possible when it's working. I'd use a hotspot if I could but it's not happening. Also I'm going to tip the installers and give them some gift cards since I do feel bad.
